Re: What is on your list of bad bourbon?

We found some old Rebel Yell amongst my grandmothers collection of most of the products made from several distillery's she worked at. I must say.. that stuff was terrible, you could taste the fusels and just a shot left a bad taste for a while. After about six people agreed.. we used it to clean up some antiques that was in bad shape, made great cleaner.

No, regular Early Times almost-bourbon. I've had it before and as I recall it was OK, but the current bottle I have (glass with a plastic screw top) has an odd, plastic-y taste to it. My dad agrees, so I doubt I'm crazy. Or maybe my dad and I are both crazy?

Re: What is on your list of bad bourbon?

I'm convinced those that say they've never met a bad bourbon have not tried the current Old Crow. It is the one and only entry on my bad bourbon list. It doesn't even taste like bourbon.

Old Crow Reserve, on the other hand, surprised me knowing how bad the standard label Old Crow is. Old Crow Reserve is a nice little bottom shelfer and a decent value if you like to mix your Beam with coke but want to save a couple $$$. Its not knocking any mid-shelfers off my shopping list, but decent all the same.
